    "Cloanto [...] is pursuing legal steps against Hyperion [...] in the USA and Belgium. In the US case, Cloanto was asked to to provide proof for the claims of owning certain rights, but did not do so until today. [...] The newly-founded "C-A Acquisition company", based in the USA, claims to have acquired the rights to the Amiga OS and logos from Amiga inc. The contract is signed by Bill McEwen, the former CEO of Amiga inc. However, the signature was given after Bill McEwen resigned as a CEO, as several news items and his own LinkedIn profile prove. We therefore share Hyperion's legal opinion as shown in the legal proceedings without any restrictions. We have signed licensing contracts for our products [...] with Hyperion CVBA, because the text of the settlement agreement with Amiga inc. dated september 30th, 2009, was opened up. This agreements shows beyond any doubt that Hyperion is the only company that can provide the licenses we require. Trusting that the outcome of the lawsuits is going to be positive for Hyperion, we will continue to provide not just financial support."
